Don't ruin Verte's olive thread....

don't worry, I'll make sure I puke far, far away from V's olives!

No carry on with all this olive talk.

Now pickles are a whole different thing.

I detest pickles. Olives rule!

[verte76]

I'm eating an olive right now. Yum!

 

[nbcrusader]

For breakfast?

 

[verte76]

Yeah, I always eat a couple of olives for breakfast. I'm practicing for Turkey, at any rate. I'm going in April and they eat olives for breakfast every morning.

 

[Carek1230]

olives are good for any meal, any time of day, on or in virtually anything and everything! I think I'll go have a few right now!

 

[nbcrusader]

A bowl full of olives with milk & sugar....?

 

[verte76]

No, they eat olives, feta cheese, and a piece of pide (which we call pita bread in the U.S.) for breakfast........they don't eat much. We're going to get buffet breakfasts, I wonder if we'll get olives? I'll bet we do.

 

[nbcrusader]

Not Olive Puffs? Olive Flakes? Greek Charms (with olive marshmallow bits)?

 

[verte76]

No, I don't think we're going to get Olive Flakes or Olive Puffs. They'll be nice big Turkish olives!

 

[Carek1230]

I love a meal of olives, feta, pita bread any time of day or night! I often also slice tomatoes and cucumbers (the Persian ones are really yummy) and some tsatziki sauce...yum! It's a good meal especially in the summer when it is too hot to cook.

 

[nbcrusader]

Olive Loops? Olive Jacks?

 

[verte76]

Feta cheese

 

[nbcrusader]

This is an olive thread

Please reserve feta talk for the cheese thread

 

[verte76]

Sorry about that, I hijacked my own damn thread.

 

[nbcrusader]

We still need a food forum....

 

[UberBeaver]

Shrunken Head olives
With Feta
And anchovies

 

[Carek1230]

I wonder if my headache is because I haven't had any olives in 2 days?

 

[verte76]

Maybe you're having withdrawal symptoms.

 

[nbcrusader]

Olives = controlled substance?

 

[verte76]

The day olives become a controlled substance I leave the country and move to Greece.

 

[Carek1230]

Mmmmm Greece is a wonderful place for olives! I love Love LOVE Greek olives and Greek food! But we only discuss olives here

What do turkish olives taste like, verte?

 

[verte76]

Turkish olives probably taste like Greek olives. The best Greek olives are from Kalamata, Greece, but all Greek olives are yummy, much more so than those wimpy Western European olives. I'm looking forward to eating plenty of Turkish olives.

 

[verte76]

I'm eating a nice, big fat Kalamata olive right now!
